"Mr. Aldrich, I have been all the way today and it has been an eye-opener. I didn't expect that there would be such a large-scale mining and smelting industry on this remote Haiwen Peninsula. And your Black Iron City is no less than any major city in the Empire. As trade flourished and the population grew, the city would become a jewel in the southern part of the empire. ”

"I have to correct you, my lord. Black Iron City is Imperial, not mine. The King of Hyperven still maintained a very humble attitude, "I was just elected by the citizens of Black Iron City to temporarily manage the city. When you, the true lord, arrive, I will naturally look for an opportune time to return the reign of ruler. ”

The implication is that if the time is not right, then the right to govern will never have to be returned.

Gordon has now figured out the self-proclaimed King of Hyven. Mr. Aldrich's bottom line. At least on the surface, he is not willing to take the initiative to tear his face. However, when judging a person, he is judged by what he does, not what he says, so these verbal humilities are of no use to Gordon.

If he just came to the Haiwen Peninsula to eat and wait for death, he could naturally pretend not to know, fight with the other party, and then no one would mess with anyone. But as the lord of Hyven, Gordon would never allow another owner to have another owner on the fief he had worked so hard to obtain.

Abel. Aldrich said again, "My lord, although Black Iron City is very good, Cloud Scale City, your governing place, is the center of the entire Haiwen Peninsula. Strindberg, in particular, is a beautiful scenery overlooking the Sea of Steam and the entire Cloud Scale City. It was the residence chosen by successive special administrators sent by the empire to the Hybon Peninsula. You will definitely have a great time there. ”

"Really? Looks like I'll have to check out that Strindberg when I get to Cloudscales. ”

"I won't disturb the lord and the lord's wife to enjoy every meal." Able gestured to sit next to Gordon. Sigrid was frowning and taking a sip of a fruit salad with sesame spices.

When the female knight heard the title of "Lord's Lady", her whole body tightened. It's not because she's shy or happy or anything like that, it's just that she's trying to suppress herself and want to jump out and refute Abel's mistakes.

The corner of Gordon's eyes skimmed the female knight's reaction, for fear that she would not be able to control her feelings. Something is going on. Fortunately, Sigrid stayed in her seat until the King of Hyven left.

"Thank you for your hard work." Gordon sat back in his place and whispered to the female knight.

"It's nothing, I know I'm quick-tempered in a state of fire, if not restrained. It's easy to get into trouble. Nowadays, in the Black Iron City, there are potential enemies everywhere, and you need to pay more attention. Sigrid took another big sip of wine.

This southern-made jungle fruit wine is made from a mixture of different fruits depending on the season, and it is a very refreshing drink in the subtropical region of the Haiwen Peninsula. It's just that this kind of alcohol has a lot of stamina. If you don't do it in moderation, you're sure to get drunk.

Gordon shook his head as he looked at the female knight with red cheeks and was already in a slightly drunken state.

It wasn't a good idea to take her with you for this kind of banquet, but it wasn't a good idea to leave her alone in Black Iron City.

"If it rains heavily, let her transform into a gentle water state. That's easy. Gordon prayed inwardly, and called Larry to his side.

"Do you know Strindberg in Cloud Scales?" He asked.

The diminutive beast man was stunned for a moment, and even the tail behind his back stopped shaking. Obviously, the name "Strindberg" was very impressive to him.

"It's a castle of death." During the cheerful banquet, Larry said in a deep and trembling tone, "This castle is the first special administrator to take office after the Hyvon Peninsula was established as a special administrative region of the empire. Sterling built. The man who was in charge of the construction of the castle at that time was Abel Able, who was working under the Earl of Stirling. Aldrich. ”

"But after staying in Strindberg. In less than two months, the Stirling family had more than two hundred people, including the Earl of Stirling's own family of five, plus all the servants and guards. All died mysteriously overnight. After that, Abel . Aldridge quickly cleaned up the mess left by the Earl of Stirling, and finally gained the power it is today. ”

"Could it be that the King of Hyperven killed Count Slint's family?"

"On the night of Earl Stirling's death, Able was still investigating the iron mines near the Black Iron City, and there was no time to commit the crime. Of course, maybe he used some spell. It's just that there is no evidence, and the later Imperial Investigation Team can only give up. Larry shook his head, "After this tragedy, I don't know when it began, and a legend began to circulate on the Hyven Peninsula. Only the true and only ruler of the Hayven Peninsula can live in Stirling Castle and not be harmed by the island spirits in the castle. If they don't get it, anyone who lives in Strindberg will die. ”

"It's really a legend of a murderous house without any new ideas." Gordon smiled and shook his head, then tore off a slice of salt-baked turtle meat and dipped it in a special sauce and put it in his mouth.

Although the food styles of the Northland and the islands are very different, they all have their own characteristics and are delicious. Gordon at least didn't have to worry about his stomach being wronged later in life.

"Your Lord, don't believe me." Larry shook his head, lowered his voice and said solemnly, "After that, all the Imperial Special Administrators who lived in Strindberg also died. There were even many adventurers who heard the legend of Strindberg and came from all over the empire. But as soon as they entered the castle, they never came out again. Today, it has become a place of discourse for all the inhabitants of the Haiwen Peninsula. ”

The Imperial officials, who wanted to make a career on the Hyven Peninsula, moved to Strindberg in order to break the myth and died. And those imperial administrators who spared their lives and had little ambition refused to move in. But in doing so, they lost their status as the true rulers of the peninsula.

Gordon had now seen the plot of the King of Hyven.

If you live in Strindberg, then according to convention, it is a dead end. If you don't live in Strindberg, then with the legend of this castle now deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, your lordship, who was canonized by the emperor, will become unjustified and unable to be recognized by the local residents.

"People's hearts and righteousness are sometimes such difficult things to explain." Gordon muttered to himself.

However, although the king of Hyven dug a pit for himself to jump, on the other hand, if he really conquered Strindberg, then he could easily and happily immediately grasp the hearts of the people, and let the Aldrich family cocoon itself.

As a mage, he has been dealing with all kinds of unexplained natural phenomena for many years, so what seems strange and terrifying to the common people is nothing to Gordon. Now he was more interested in the murderous fortress.

"Humph! I'm going to teach that guy a lesson! ”

Sigrid abruptly interrupted Gordon's conversation with Larry. The knight slammed her glass on the table and got up.

"What's going on?"

"I can't stand it, Lord Count," the knightess pointed to a long table diagonally opposite, "and the men kept staring at me, making all sorts of lewd gestures and expressions...... I'm going to teach them a lesson! ”

Sigrid, who was in a state of fire, originally wanted to rely on alcohol to calm her feelings, but who knew that after a few glasses of stomach, under the influence of alcohol, it would be even more difficult for her to control it.

The King of Hyperven was not of high origin, and he did not befriend any elegant and courteous person. At this kind of banquet, it is really normal for a few vulgar and lascivious men to appear.

Who called Sigrid the prettiest girl in the hall, even the daughter of the King of Hyven, Grida, far less.

Gordon thought that he would be able to survive this banquet safely, but who knew that now the female knight was almost violent because of a few nasty men.

"It seems that this is the only way to go......" Gordon whispered, and then suddenly reached out and put his arm around the female knight's waist.

The Phoenix family's phoenix armor specially created for women is exquisitely crafted and has amazing protection, although the coverage rate of the whole body armor is more than eighty, but it does not have the bulky shortcomings of ordinary full-body armor. Gordon's hand reached through the uniquely designed gap in the waist of the armor, caressing the knightess's shirt that was clinging to her waist.

Through a thin layer of fabric, Sigrid's hot, smooth skin reached Gordon's fingertips. The waist of a fully trained female knight feels really good.

"Lord Earl, what are you doing?" Sigrid was stunned by Gordon's sudden movement.

"Nothing, help you calm down." After Gordon's fingertips touched the female knight's skin, he didn't make any further movements, but immediately snapped a spell.

Cool cold storage in Dasong.

As a well-known mage of the Plastic Energy School in history, especially in the two energies of ice and fire, Da Song, who has a deep study, has created a series of spells related to temperature changes.

The one-ring Plastic Energy School spell of the Cold Storage can reduce the temperature of a certain weight object to five to ten degrees Celsius. This spell is not as violent as the Prison of Pure Cold, and its effects are milder, and mages learn it mainly to preserve certain items that are perishable and perishable in the heat.

Now, however, Gordon has found a new use for the spell.
